Wheel/rail squeal and impact noise: What do we know? What don't we know? Where do we go from here?

A review of the current state of knowledge of wheel/rail squeal and impact noise is presented. Mechanisms for noise generation, sources of noise, predictive models and means for control are presented. Areas where additional research is required are suggested. While considerable progress in expanding our understanding of wheel/rail noise has occurred in the past ten years, there are still many areas of controversy and many areas where firmly based scientific information is lacking.

      Curve squeal is a type of railway noise which is highly occurred when tramway or subways come in a tight radius curve (radius lower than 200 m [1]). It is well accepted that the high lateral slip of the wheel on the rail-head is the main cause of curve squeal [2–4]. The friction forces generated by this sliding motion may lead to structural instability.

      However, squeal is occasionally observed on the outer wheel [6]. Although longitudinal wheel slip and wheel flange contact have originally been cited as a cause of curve squeal, they have been discredited as a main energy input in several works [3,5,7]. Most of mechanisms proposed in the literature put forward the high lateral slip of the wheel on the rail-head as the main cause of curve squeal.

      Citation Excerpt :

      Two theories exist in the literature about the relationship between flange contact and squeal. The first states that flange contact alone will not produce squeal and that flange contact, with the flange rubbing on the gauge face, reduces the likelihood of stick-slip due to lateral slip and the levels of squeal noise at wheels in flange contact [15]. The second theory acknowledges that flange contact can produce tonal squeal, although the mechanisms governing squeal in such conditions are not yet fully understood [16,17].
